It's time to retire your energy
when you go from giving the utmost effort
to fueling your spite with the poison you spit at his heart
And even though sometimes the good outweighs the bad
The devil is always sitting on his shoulder, wrinkling his shirt
and mouthing every word you swore you'd never hear again
I have so much to say to you
so much, in fact,
that I'll stay silent tonight

You shouldn't have to resort to a lonesome cure
But you can't find common interests with anyone anymore
Things you once loved are now much less desired
The people forget
  it's the fall of an empire
But desolate thoughts can bring peace to your soul
Let the mind wander,
once broken
now whole
You'd be surprised who you may find lurking
Who else may wish their brain would stop working
They hide it well, you cannot tell
  until they want to share
But once they do, you won't be through,
  you'll be the perfect pair

You think you can do it better
just because you did it first
I could take the time to tell her
but that might just make it worse

Simple little pictures
tell thousands of words
Take your stupid pictures
You know it makes it worse

It's true that bad boys move in silence
Take your time, try to be quiet
Whisper now, cavalier screams are violent
We'll be the first to start a silent riot
riot, riot,
Change your inner lighting
Never-have-the-time kid
Always end up fighting
My lips are raw from biting
The part of you that's dying

This isn't just a pride thing,
I swear I am not hiding
You'll be the one who's crying
when everyone's found lying
Your conscience is implying
that it was just the timing

but chances pass you by, kid.

I wish you cared
the way you care where you'll go for lunch today,
I wish you listened
the way you hear your favorite bass chords,
I wish you'd spend time
the way you waste away all your savings,

Show me passion, don't show off
Feel my heart beat like your sheets, so soft
I feel your chest rise and fall
Feel the way I truly care,
and in return, get nothing at all.
Why do you only care when it's convenient?
When did my standards become so lenient?

I wish you the best,
the way you wish away today
I wish you the best,
but with you there is no grey.

I laugh at the boys with their falsified intentions
The only thing I do is steal his attention
I must appear a bit too naive
I falsely wear my heart on my sleeve
with my sleeves rolled up so he can see my "heart"
he'll trust me with his, open up from the start
Only to crash, diving head first into me
I'm draining the water while you float in the sea
